*The Origins of the Islamic State* (volume 2 only) by Ahmad
Ibn Yahya al-Baladhuri, translated into English in 1924 by Francis Clark Murgotten. al-Baladhuri was a 9th century Persian historian who charted the 7th century spread of Islam. Copies in English are rare. And though I obtained this one cheaply enough, getting volume 1 may prove a lot more costly, especially as it was printed by a university (Columbia) and not commercially. -- Francis A. Miniter Oscuramente libros, laminas, llaves siguen mi suerte. Jorge Luis Borges, La Cifra Haiku, 6 |

Jorge Luis Borges, La Cifra * Haiku, 6 I found both volumes at the Internet Archive, http://www.archive.org/index.php, and downloaded then printed the second with a copy firm. These last were sticky about copyright but the current publisher was generous enough to supply me with a release, albeit unneeded. |
